What specific actions and consequences resulted from the allegations of misconduct against Pete Hegseth at the veterans' advocacy groups?

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump's pick to lead the Department of Defense, faced allegations of misconduct at two veterans' groups, leading to his dismissal. A whistleblower report details instances of intoxication at work events, sexual pursuit of female staff, and the organization's failure to address another staffer's alleged sexual misconduct. These allegations, alongside a prior sexual assault claim (which Hegseth denies, and for which no charges were filed), raise concerns about his suitability for the role.
